    Just curious, what's your OTHER vehicle?

    Incredible breed you have. Of all the days to sign into Mud I see this notification is the day that I officially listed my M3 for sale. Over eight years of ownership and it is a hard thing to come to terms with. Exciting days ahead though! Enjoy that machine - it is the best.

    Let’s see those 200s camping…..

    Very first camping trip with the LX 570. I bought it in January and spent a good four months doing a lot of maintenance and things to get it ready for this. Note that we installed the awning room backwards. It was my first time using it and we were being eaten alive by gnats as soon as we...

    Finally made it to the desert and looked at stuff.

    Silver car with bronze will look ACE. That was my intended setup (2013 570). I went with BFG KO2 and white letters out. I would have done white letters out with the bronze wheels. Ironically my local Discount Tire called me Friday to tell me my bronze wheels had arrived. I mentioned how weird...

    Just curious, what's your OTHER vehicle?

    2011 M3 (Comp Package). I have owned this for over six years. This gets driven only in fair weather/summer time and hibernates. I have not driven it since like October since we are in an eternal winter in Utah. Recently imported and sold a Diesel Surf and a Prado.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    While I have been performing the 120K maintenance schedule of my recently purchased 2013 LX I found a trail of dried coolant on the front of the engine from a leaking water pump while doing the front diff/oil. Yesterday I spent the day in the garage replacing the water...

    I ordered in-store, not online. I was charged in full back in January. When Icon did a promotional sale in February on their alloy wheels I was able to get Discount to price match the sale price. All this waiting and now I am have arrived at the same place as @BeachCruzer and have ordered a set...

    I mean I had put in my order originally at $309/wheel and got a whole set of 5. I’d say priced around that is what I’m aiming for.

    Well I did not win the lottery. My discount tire was able to get an update. ‘Another 4-6 weeks’ is what they were told but at this point I have zero confidence in Icon being able to deliver. This was true among all colors (bronze/titanium/black). While I would have loved a set on my 570 waiting...

    I knew about the lugs, those are on the order. The spare bracket thing I think is only related to certain years/models of LX and LCs. I think it is the 16+ spare carrier that has the weirdness.

    Wow - those look so good! Here's to hoping my order gets filled because I really don't think I will be as happy with any other wheel style. I also have 285/70 KO2 that will be paired with it. They look perfect. Bronze is the best looking color. It was mid-January - did you order bronze as well...

    I called my Discount Tire on Tuesday to see if they could get an update. They were told the wheel order would be shipping "the second week of March". I ordered a set of 5 bronze wheels I don't really even want to bother with the "wheels are made in China" comment but...so? Who cares? If I could...

    Builds Ikarus' HDJ81 Aussie-Style Build

    If I get another 100 I will import one from Japan. Pricing and condition are so much better.

    Added this thread to my watchlist. Completely transformed the look with those tires already! I would be all about keeping the Active Vacation badging though. Hope to see it in person soon!
